Hi: That is the question that I have been asking myself all day Sector. One of these days the internet bubble will crash and a lot of folks are going to loose their shirts in it but right now it looks like a lot of folks are making big bucks. I agree with you these stocks EBAY and AMZN have zip for fundamentals but they are the Pressteks of 1998 and once again it shows ------dont fight the tape. Lots of problems still out their in the world with 40 percent of the world in a recession but then it looks like we are far and few Sector in how we view the valuation of companies. I am going to hold my shares of MRVC my basis is about 20 I am not happy about it but I will wait and hold IMHO its going to come back. Have a good day !! Warmest Regards, Bob

Sector...by the way, I sold my remaining ASND yesterday at 51 (cost of 23). I know you're still long, but it's gotten kinda pricey for me...of course, that means it's going higher! <g> greg

Is MRVC a jags?: HILLSBORO, Ore. -(Dow Jones)- Intel Corp. Wednesday announced that a number of high-tech heavyweights including International Business Machines Corp. and Compaq Computer Corp. have begun shipping Intel's so-called gigabit Ethernet technology as part of their products. Gigabit Ethernet is a sizzling market. Several smaller players have been snapped up by big companies. The technology allows computers to exchange data at 100 times the speed of conventional networks without costing a great deal more money, experts say. So many gigabit Ethernet start-ups have emerged, nearly two dozen at last count, that a slang term has popped up in Silicon Valley - JAGS, or just another gigabit start-up. A quantum leap in communications speed is considered essential to make high-quality video and other sophisticated multimedia effects commonplace on the Internet and in corporate networks. The attention to gigabit Ethernet is a sharp about-face for the industry, which until last year seemed to have settled on a different way to supercharge networks. Most corporations now use the 15-year-old Ethernet system, which has a maximum speed of 10 million bits, or megabits, a second. An updated version, known as "Fast Ethernet," runs at 100 megabits a second and is gaining acceptance at many companies as its costs drop. Gigabit Ethernet, by comparison, offers another tenfold improvement, to one billion bits a second. That speed once was considered impossible using the basic data-transmission format of Ethernet. It was widely assumed that the networking industry would be forced to abandon Ethernet and move instead to a format called ATM. Copyright (c) 1998 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
